Boots Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Looks like he is opening for the Dylan show I'm going to in a few weeks. I know the name but that's about it. Anyone catch him live before, what should I check out of his? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Long Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Personally, I hate Jimmie Vaughan. He's living off the success of his brother. And as a guitarist, he sucks...really awful. I saw him open for Dylan last summer, I went in expecting some good blues (not SRV good, but solid). Man was I wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And as a guitarist, he sucks...really awful.Man, that is a little harsh.Jimmy was touring and gigging long before Stevie was ever even on the scene.And although it's been a great many years since I've seen him live he used to do a pretty spirited job of rockin a joint back in the day w/The T'birds.

Boots Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks for the variety of opinions I'll go in with an open mind and a few beers in my tummy. I'll grab that disc as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll give him that, he used to be good. Stevie always said Jimmy was his idol. And the T'birds stuff is good for what it is. But something happened after Stevie died, and Jimmy kinda lost his spirit. Family Styles is a great album by the Vaughan brothers. Jimmy even played rhythm on a few tracks like Couldn't Stand the Weather. Hate is a strong word, but I haven't been impressed by Jimmy in while and his ego is bigger than any arena he plays in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Jimmy Vaughn is to Stevie Ray Vaughn as Jim Belushi is to John Belushi i.e. both living in the shadows of legends and neither even coming close to measuring up to their dead brothers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
